A/N: I apologize for the delay for my stories in recent times. I have been having trouble doing time management and finding the drive to work on these. I'm most certainly not giving up on them, but it's taxing to have to write five stories at once, so after Kamen Rider Taisen is finished, I've decided I will go under a small hiatus on Spider Rider Gaim and Dreigon, Scan Rider Drive and Rush, and Kamen Riders Shogun and Kaizoku until I am finished with Fossil Rangers VivoFighters and Code Lyoko: X-Omega Unwound. I have been putting off on these stories for too long and I am so close to being finished that I realize I need to get them done. I apologize for any inconveniences.

The group walked into town, Robin, Daigo, and Ryo looking around curiously. Robin had several bandages on his skin and was walking with a limp as a result of his fight.

"So this is Ylisstol, capital of Ylisse… I've never seen so many people!" Robin said.

"You would have a field day if you were to come back home with us" Daigo grinned; slightly less amazed, but amazed nonetheless.

"You live somewhere more impressive?" Sully asked Daigo, who nodded.

"It's a bit hard to explain, but we'll get to it eventually" he told her.

"Doesn't really matter to me. If Captain Chrom trusts you, then so do I" Sully nodded.

"Thanks"

"Don't mention it"

"It appears the capital was spared the chaos we encountered, thank the gods." Frederick sighed. "I see no evidence of the great quake. It must've been limited to the forest."

"Well, that's a relief" Lissa smiled.

Ryo noticed he was getting some glares and stares from the people around him.

"Hey, you okay?" Daigo asked his friend.

"Yeah, I'm fine" he reassured him, though Daigo wasn't entirely sure.

"Look! The exalt has come to see us!" another voice shouted, interrupting the group.

The group turned to see what was going on. A lady with long blond hair and a symbol on her forehead was walking through the street with guards surrounding her.

"Exalt? Is that some kind of politician?" Ryo's eyes narrowed.

"Pardon Ryo's limited vocabulary" Daigo said.

"Shut it" Ryo snapped back.

Robin put his hand to his chin. "The exalt is your ruler, yes?"

"Yes, her name is Lady Emmeryn" Frederick told Robin.

"Pardon my rudeness and bluntness, but is it safe for her to walk among commoners and peasants like this?" Robin asked.

"The exalt is a symbol of peace- Ylisse's most prized quality." Frederick began explaining. "Long ago, at the dawn of our age, the fell dragon tried to destroy the world. But the first exalt joined forces with the divine dragon and laid the beast below. Exalt Emmeryn reminds us all of the peace we fought for then." Frederick smiled.

"What's she look like though? We can't even see her from here" Ryo pointed out, gesturing to the large crowd between them and Emmeryn. He was ignored.

Robin eyed Frederick, doing his best to hold back his comment.

"With Plegia poking at our borders, the people need her." Chrom added. "She's a calming presence, when some might otherwise call for war."

"You guys are lucky to have her in that case." Daigo said.

"She's also the best big sister anyone could ask for!" Lissa smiled.

This caught Daigo and Robin by surprise.

"Yeah, she probably- wait what?!" Ryo stopped.

"The exalt is your sister?" Robin asked.

"But… wouldn't that make Lissa and Chrom-"

"The prince and princesses of the realm, yes. You remember Chrom's name and not this?" Frederick directed that last part at Robin.

"…I'm regretting keeping my earlier comment about you to myself." Robin muttered to himself.

"What was that?"

"Not important to you, don't worry. Besides, you guys said you were "shepherds"!" Robin pointed out.

"And so we are… in a manner of speaking. We just have a LOT of sheep." Chrom shrugged.

"…so do I start calling you Prince Chrom?" Robin asked. "Because to be honest I think Chrom is a cool enough name on its own, the Prince part should not be required."

"I've never been much for formalities, but that's certainly a first" Chrom commented.

"Prince and princess… certainly explains why Frederick tolerates teasing from you and not me"

"If you happen to be royalty, you get a free pass. If not, then shut up" Frederick said.

Before Robin could say something to Frederick (and Chrom had a sinking suspicion it would have been less than kind) Chrom interrupted. "It looks like Emm is returning to the palace. Would you like to meet her?"

"Meeting the ruler of a nation? Well heck yeah!" Ryo said.

"He means yes. And the same goes for me" Daigo said.

"Seems interesting. Count me in" Robin nodded.


In the middle of an empty field, something was happening.

For a second, there was nothing that happened until a small object formed in the middle of the air.

The object slowly moved downwards, what appeared to be a zipper made out of bones forming from it. The zipper opened, revealing a purple void was behind it.

After a few seconds of it being there, a figure stepped out of the portal. The figure was female and had pale skin. She had black hair that went down to her back with an aqua blue streak through it. Her attire consisted of a pair of white pants with black highlights over them. Her top was a white shirt under a white leather jacket. She had on a pair of black biker gloves. Across her waist was a strange black belt with a yellow strap. On the belt was a strange lock-shaped device that was colored violet on the back and orange on the front. The inside was colored white.

"This world…" she closed her eyes. "It's not Gaim… or Dreigon's… but there are Riders here…"

She opened her eyes.

"Very well… I'll defeat these ones first and go on my way. The more Rider Lockseeds I get… the easier it'll be to avenge Wilson by destroying Dreigon."


In the middle of an a forest near Ylisstol, a strange noise could be heard.

A silver veil formed from nowhere. The veil moved backwards, forming a man and a motorcycle as it did.

The man was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, which he took off to get a better view of the area. The man had long brown hair. He had on a black trenchcoat above a magenta shirt. He had a pair of black khaki's as well. Around his neck was a magenta camera. Around his waist was a silver belt with a rectangular object on the side. The buckle itself was white and had a black line through the center. The center of the buckle had a screen like a camera but different symbols surrounded it.

The motorcycle he was riding was mainly white and black but the front had a magenta color and a card design.

"This world… feels different than the other Rider worlds. Either way, I can't be worried about that, I just need one more Rider to recruit to face Badan."

The man boarded his bike and started it before he drove off.


Begin Theme: Story By: Camino

(Music) The Shogun Cores, Kaizoku Bullets, Turbo Orbs, and Core Gems are seen on the screen before they start glowing. The screen changes to a shot of Ryo and Daigo back to back, Ryo having on the Kaizoku Shot in his hand while Daigo has SamuraiMaru on his waist and the Shogun Brace on his wrist. They activate them in a side-by-side split-screen effect, the screen changing to the title: "Kamen Riders Shogun and Kaizoku: Turbo Awakening."

(Hikaru sora wo miage kakenukeru kumo oikakete ita) Daigo practices with his Shogun Saber alone in a room. SamuraiMaru says something through the Shogun Brace. He stops and sheaths his sword as he is replaced by Shogun.

(Nagareru toki no naka de todokanu omoi samayotteru) Ryo jumped over objects and ran through a battlefield, dodging every attack that came his way and blasting every person who attacked him in the head while also slashing with his Kaizoku Cutlass. He stopped when he rested the barrel of his Kaizoku Shot onto the side of someone's head and fired as he is replaced by Kaizoku.

(Kokoro ni daiteta ikite kita akashi) Robin and Marth are seen back to back, Robin having the Turbo Driver on his waist while Marth was looking at the Parallel Falchion.

(Maiagare inochi no honoo ima) Robin looked up to see Chrom, Sully, Ryo, and Daigo all standing in the distance, smiling at him while Lissa, Frederick, and Virion were behind them, waving as well. Marth looked up to see several figures in the distance. The two ran from their position to the people on their respective sides.

(Kurikaesareru jidai ni) Daigo, Ryo, and Robin stand in a line as they shout: "Shogun/Kaizoku/Turbo Henshin!"

(Ima tashika na shinjitsu wo) They activate their devices as their armor forms around them.

(Yuruganai taisetsu na Kizuna) Shogun, Kaizoku, and Turbo stood in their places as they got into ready stances.

(Unmei no STORY (STORY)) Several more Riders were shown, one of the most noticeable being lion and samurai themed.

(Tsunagareta kono sekai ni) The samurai themed Rider aimed her weapon at the screen before slashing.

(Haruka naru yasashisa wo) The screen was divided by the slash and fell away, revealing a new image of Daigo looking down at his necklace.

(Kagiri nai yume to kibou ni) He looked back up and took a few steps forward, meeting up with Ryo and Robin on a cliff.

(Mou mayou koto wa nai hazu sa zutto) The three looked off the cliff, looking over the landscape before they held up their respective transformation devices.

(Mirai ni TAKE YOU) The three ran towards the cliff and jumped off, falling to the ground below.

(Music) The three fell to the ground as the view suddenly changed to that of Shogun, Kaizoku, and Turbo fighting off enemies all around them, Shogun using his Shogun Saber, Kaizoku using his Kaizoku Shot and Cutlass in conjunction, and Turbo using his Turbo Sword. The final shot was that of Daigo, Ryo, Robin, Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Sully, and Virion as they all stood together.


The group of eight walked through the castle. Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick were in the front while Sully and Virion were behind them, Virion trying to flirt with Sully. Behind them, Daigo, Ryo, and Robin followed at the back. Daigo and Ryo were looking around the castle, amazed, while Robin was looking at the ground, deep in thought.

"This is amazing" Daigo commented.

"It certainly trumps what we've seen back home" Ryo nodded.

"What do you think Robin?" Daigo turned to Robin, who as still deep in thought.

"Hm? You say something?" Robin asked.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah, you've been a bit off ever since we left that forest. You should have let Lissa heal you."

"No, it's nothing too bad. I'm not too badly hurt."

"Still, it doesn't hurt to check"

"I said I'm fine. Besides, there was actually something I wanted to ask you about" Robin said.

"Hm? What's the matter?" Daigo asked.

"Well, you said your father trained you in fighting, right? Well, I wanted to know if it was possible that you could teach me to fight in the way that you learned growing up" Robin requested.

"Really? Why?"

"The way I fight now almost got me killed back in the forest. That reminds me, have you heard of a Kamen Rider named Kamen Rider Ronin?"

"Ronin?... no, I can't say that I have, sorry"

"It's fine. But, she defeated me and gave me most of my injuries. I want to learn how to fight with your style so I can better improve my own style stand a much better chance next time"

Daigo thought for a moment before he responded. "Okay, I'll teach you, but I'm not going to go soft on you"

Robin smirked. "As long as I learn, that's all I care about…"

Daigo was silent, thinking about something.

Kamen Rider… Ronin?... who is that? And why would they attack Robin?

Robin spoke up again after being silent for a few moments. "By the way, Ronin said something. She asked about where you were. I refused to tell and that was when we fought. I'm curious, who is she to you?"

"I'm sorry Robin, but I don't know her, which means that if she's targeting me, then something is going on" Daigo said. "Ryo, what do you think?"

Daigo turned to his best friend, only to sigh in frustration when he noticed Ryo wasn't even paying attention.

"Hm? What happened?"

"I thought you were listening!" Daigo said.

"Oh. I wasn't. At all. You guys lost me at "What do you think Robin". Sorry." Ryo sheepishly said.

Daigo sighed. "The things I put up with you"


Two figures walked through the forest in silence. One of which was a farm boy with a pot on his head.

The other was a young woman with long black hair above a headband with a crossed sword design. She had on black pants held up by a silver belt. She had a long sleeve white shirt with armored padding on the elbows and shoulders under a chrome black vest. She had a strap that went from her right shoulder to the left side of her waist. The strap was connected to a sheath that held a katana with a black blade and handle. She had a pair of geta on her feet.

"Miss, where exactly are we going?" the farm boy asked.

"Donnel, I told you. Stop calling me that." The woman sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine." The woman sighed. "Still, this is the right way to the city, right?"

"Yeah, we're close to Ylisstol… I think" Donnel said.

"Good, then that's one thing done" she smiled. "Come on, let's go"

The two continued walking through the forest in silence.


The group walked into the throne room, Robin, Daigo, and Ryo still in the back of the group. Sully and Virion had both left to go somewhere.

"Wow, this throne room is amazing!" Ryo whistled, looking around while he spun in a circle to look at everything.

Daigo noticed the looks his friend was getting and quickly stopped him. "Sorry man, but I think you're going to want to stop, you're getting some pretty weird looks"

"Why do I care what they think?" Ryo asked.

"Why does it matter what they think?" SamuraiMaru asked, curious.

"Well… it's just that Ryo looks like a pirate, and pirates steal things. There are a lot of things in here that could quite possibly invoke greed in certain people. Though knowing Ryo, even if for only about a day, I doubt he would want any of this" Robin commented.

"Man's got a point" Daigo shrugged, not being able to follow up.

The group approached the end of the room, where a lady and her guard were standing there.

However, as they got closer, Daigo noticed the woman and squinted. "Hey… Ryo… does that woman look weird to you?"

Ryo looked at her as well. "We can't exactly see her clearly so it's a bit hard to say"

"Is this some kind of inside thing between friends that I'm probably not going to understand?" Robin asked.

"Yes" the two spoke in unison.

"They spoke at the same time. Is that normal?"

"I've known them for a shorter time than you have and they're most definitely weird"

"That is true. From what I have seen, humans are truly strange creatures indeed, with Daigo and Ryo being prime examples"

"Watch it" Ryo threatened.

Daigo kept squinting, trying to discern where he had seen that woman before…

…but he stopped when they got close enough, paling considerably.

Robin and Ryo stopped as well, noticing this. "Oi, what's wrong?" Ryo followed Daigo's gaze and saw the woman, shock filling his features when he did. "No way."

"What's wrong with you two? Come on, we're almost there." Lissa said, having noticed the two stopping.

"Uh… I don't really think-" Ryo started, not being able to finish when Lissa grabbed Daigo's hand.

"Come on, Emmeryn's really nice" she encouraged the two.

Ryo gulped and followed after them, Robin behind him with a suspicious look on his face.

The group approached the woman, Chrom at the front. They eventually reached her with Lissa suddenly dragging Daigo up, Daigo having an uncomfortable look on his face. Ryo quickly took his place next to his samurai counterpart.

"Chrom! Lissa! Welcome home. Oh, and good day, Frederick. How fared you all?" the woman asked.

"Well, we shouldn't have any bandit problems for a while." Chrom nodded.

"Wonderful. And our people?" the woman asked.

"Safe as they can be, Emm. But we still need to watch the borders." Chrom said. "The brigands crossed over from Plegia."

"Forgive me, milord. My Pegasus knights should have intercepted them." The woman besides "Emmeryn" spoke up. Throughout the conversation she had been warily eyeing Ryo, who had caught onto her glares.

"No, Phila. Your duty was here, with the exalt" Chrom told the woman next to Emmeryn.

"And besides, we had plenty of help!" Lissa cheerily spoke up.

"Ah, you speak of your new companions here?" Emmeryn gestured to Ryo, Daigo, Robin.

"This is Robin, Ryo, and Daigo" Chrom pointed to the three of them one after the other. "They fought bravely with us against the brigands. I've decided to make them Shepherds."

"You say the pirate gave you assistance?" Phila spoke up.

"Hey, I'm not that bad once you get to know me" Ryo put his hands in his pockets. "Just because I wear the suit doesn't mean I am the person" Daigo's glare shut him up. "Right, sorry"

Phila glared at the two, still unsure when Emm reassured her. "Peace, Phila." Phila hesitantly nodded as Emmeryn turned back to them.

"It sounds as though Ylisse owes you three a debt of gratitude"

"Not at all milady!" Robin shook his head.

"Forgive my intrusion, milady" Frederick interrupted. "Robin claims to have lost his memory, but it is only that: a claim. Not only that, but Ryo and Daigo have both claimed to be from a different world. We cannot rule out the possibility that they are brigands themselves or even Plegian spies."

"Frederick!" Chrom called out the knight.

Emmeryn turned to her younger brother, a calm look on her face. "Yet you allowed them into the castle, Chrom. Do these men have your trust?"

"Of course they do. They risked their lives for our people." Chrom assured Emmeryn. By this point, Robin was giving Frederick a glare. If looks could kill, Frederick would most certainly be dead.

"Well then. Robin, Daigo, Ryo, you three have earned Chrom's faith, and as such you have mine as well."

"Milady" Robin bowed.

"Thank you, ma'am" Ryo bowed as Robin did, but noticed Daigo still looking uncomfortable so he quickly made him bow.

When the three stood straight up, Emmeryn continued talking.

"But thank you, Frederick, for your prudence, as always. Chrom and Lissa are blessed to have so tireless a guardian. I do hope they remember to mention that from time to time…"

"They occasionally express something akin to gratitude, Your Grace." Frederick nodded. "Phila, I assume you've heard about the deathly creatures we encountered, yes?"

"Yes, milord. They've been sighted all across Ylisse." Phila said.

"Chrom, we are about to hold council. I was hoping you could join us." Emmeryn asked.

"Of course." Chrom nodded.

"I think that's our cue, guys! C'mon, there's a place I want to show you." Lissa spoke up, to Robin, Daigo, and Ryo.

"A place?" Robin asked.

Lissa didn't give any of them a chance to respond as she grabbed Robin by his wrist and pulled him along.

"HEY!" he shouted.

Daigo and Ryo followed, Daigo still looking upset.

"Hey, you okay buddy?" Ryo asked his best friend.

"Huh? Oh… yeah" Daigo nodded. However, Ryo was not so easily convinced.

"Don't BS me, dude. I know you're upset. Is it about that woman back there?"

"W-what are you talking about?" Daigo looked at the ground, swallowing a breath.

"I know what the problem is. I'm not going to force you to talk about it, but if you do want to, I'll be here if you need me" Ryo put his hand on Daigo's shoulder.

Daigo turned to Ryo and took a moment before he nodded.

Ryo nodded as well before he removed his hand from Daigo's shoulder. "Now come on, we know Lissa has a lot of energy and we don't want to lose her"


Donnel rested against a tree in the shade, wiping some sweat off his brow. His companion sat against a tree nearby, drinking water out of a canteen.

The two sat in complete silence as they enjoyed their break from walking. Donnel decided to break the silence.

"So, uh, Miss- I mean, Asuka?" he corrected himself.

Asuka closed the canteen she had, looking up at Donnel. "Yes?"

"I wanted to know why you wanted to go to Ylisstol of all places" Donnel said.

Asuka looked up, thinking of an answer. She looked back at Donnel when she had one. "I wanted to go because… I'm still relatively new to this place. I thought it would be a good idea to find a good place to find out how I got here and why. That and… there is someone who I was told was here… someone who I will never EVER forgive. I'm aiming to avenge someone. And this gem I have…" Asuka pulled out a black crystal. "It gives me power, as you've seen. I'm going to use this power to show him the pain he caused me." Asuke growled.

Donnel watched cautiously, not using to seeing this side of her. Asuka caught onto this and smiled sheepishly, pocketing the gem. "Sorry, I got carried away. But yeah, there's someone I'm looking for who needs to receive payment for what he's done."

Donnel had no idea how to respond to this.


Lissa pulled Robin into a room containing several other people. "Here we are, the Shepherds garrison. Go on, make yourselves at home… wait, where are Daigo and Ryo?"

Robin looked at the door he just walked through and started speaking "I think it's safe to say you lo-" He didn't finish talking when one of the women in the room walked up to Lissa, interrupting him.

"Lissa, my treasure! Are you all right? I've been on pins and needles!"

Robin just blinked at the newcomer and looked over her, unsure of what to say.

"Oh, hey, Maribelle!" Lissa greeted her friend.

""Oh, hey" yourself! I've sprouted 14 gray hairs fretting over you!" Maribelle said to Lissa.

"Aw, you worry too much. I can handle a battle or two! Although I could do without the bugs and the bear barbeque…" Lissa reassured Maribelle.

"Hey, squirt! Where's Chrom?" a blond haired man walked up, joining into their conversation. "I bet he had a rough time out there without ol' Teach and his trusty axe!"

Robin looked over this newcomer as well, confused at his intrusion.

"So you're "Teach" now, Vaike, is that it? And here I though people were just born lacking wits. I didn't know it could be taught."

"Ha! Never doubt the Vaike!" Vaike laughed. Robin just stared, still unsure of what his first words should be. "Wait was that an insult?" Vaike realized what Lissa said.

Then another person walked in, this one being a woman. "Beg pardon, but when might we see the captain?" she asked.

Robin looked at her next. Well at least she seems better than the stuck-up and the… whatever that Teacher guy is.

"Poor Sumia. She's simply been beside herself with concern." Maribelle said. "Her eyes were scanning the horizon all day during training. She might have earned a fewer bruises fighting blindfolded."

"Aw, Sumia, that's so sweet of you to worry about Chrom."

"Worry? Well, I…" Sumia grew a large blush "He's our captain and our prince- of course I'd worry!"

Huh. Robin thought to himself. Someone's got a crush.

"So who's the stranger?" Vaike gestured to Robin.

"No one's stranger than you, Vaike. But allow me to introduce Robin! He just joined the Shepherds. Chrom made him our new tactician." Robin turned to Lissa in surprise at that. "You should see all the tricks he's got up his sleeve!"

"Oh yeah? Can he do this?" and with that, Vaike prepared to do something.

Robin blinked. "Is he ok-" he didn't finish when Vaike let out a rather large burp in Robin's general direction.

Robin's face wrinkled in disgust. "That… was disgusting. Why on Earth would I EVER want to know to do that? That smell is putrid" Robin waved his hand over his face, trying to get the smell away.

Vaike laughed at this. "Oh you're a funny one, aren't you? (Robin's response: "I'm being serious") I can tell we're going to get along just fine"

"Ugh, Vaike! That was abhorrent!" Maribelle added. "Must you baseborn oafs pollute even the air with your buffoonery? But sir Robin, as it stands it is a pleasure to make your acq-" Maribelle stopped mid-sentence as her eyes widened in horror.

"What's wrong?" Robin turned around to see that Daigo and Ryo were approaching.

What's the big deal? I don't see the pro- oh crap! Robin's eyes widened in realization.

"Hey! Ryo, Daigo! Where have you guys be-" Lissa was interrupted when Maribelle pulled her back. "Get back Lissa!"

"Wha-?! What are you doing?"

"Hey guys, what'd we miss?" Ryo waved.

Before Robin could respond, he was subjected to a sudden javelin being thrown by his head, missing by a couple inches. The javelin was headed straight for Ryo, however, Daigo had managed to tackle him out of the way.

Robin turned to the source but couldn't seem to find anyone. He did notice Sumia talking to what appeared to be a blank sp- wait, is that a person?! When did he get there?!

Daigo got up and guarded Ryo. "Hey! We're friendly! Calm down!"

"Ryo may look like a pirate, but he's actually really nice!" Lissa added.

"Lissa, what are you talking about?!" Maribelle demanded.

"I'm getting really tired of this kind of thing happening" Ryo hissed to Daigo, his hand clenched into a fist.

"They're with me and Lissa. Calm yourselves." Robin cautioned them, his right hand at his waist and prepared to summon his Turbo Driver and Sword if necessary.

"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Maribelle demanded.

"Take a look at them, do you honestly believe that a pirate would just walk into this place unharmed and without guards surrounding him? Chrom gave a warning in advance to keep watch, sure, but he didn't tell them to stalk him" Robin stated calmly.

"Wait, that was why they were watching me like a hawk?" Ryo asked.

Maribelle still looked unsure when Daigo approached them. "We don't mean any harm, I can promise you that. My name is Daigo, it's a pleasure to meet you" he pleasantly said, extending his hand out to her. Maribelle turned and walked away without a second thought, turning her nose into the air and a small red tint appearing on her cheeks, but barely noticeable.

Daigo lowered his hand and just stared at her retreating figure.

"Don't take it to heart, Maribelle just warms to people slowly." Sumia quickly said to him.

"Or burns too quickly." Lissa giggled. "But yeah, just give her some time"

"I'm Sumia by the way, it's nice to meet you."

"They call me the Vaike!" Vaike gave a thumbs up.

"Vaike, the only thing we call you is an idiot" Lissa joked.

Ryo took a step forward, waving. The others were wary, but decided to hear him out. "I'm Ryo. I may look like a pirate but trust me, I'm not. Killing and fighting are my thing, pillaging and stuff, not so much."

At this, there was an uncomfortable silence in the room.

"…no one suggested you do any of those things" Lissa pointed out, breaking the silence.

"I know. But given my appearance it's probably what they were thinking. Just trust me, I'll steal your life just not your possessions." Ryo nodded, tipping his hat at Sumia.

Daigo turned to his best friend. "Dude, you really aren't helping your case here"

"I realized that a while ago, I just don't know why I kept making it worse for myself."

"I'm just…going to go with Maribelle… um… bye!" Lissa quickly left.

"Congratulations, you scared off Lissa" Daigo remarked to Ryo.

"Not the first time I've scared off a girl though. First time I actually think she may talk to me again though" the pirate said.


The motorcycle-riding man continued down the road for a while.

Eventually, he stopped when he noticed that ahead of him was the town of Ylisstol. Though it's not like he knew the name of it.

"So…I'm guessing that this world is a bit more medieval than the others. I wonder what kind of Riders live in this world especially." He said, looking over the city of Ylisstol.

The man started getting his camera ready before he took a picture of the city. Putting it away, he planned his next route.

"I'm not going to find them easily, especially if they're in that city. I guess the best course of action is to go around the outskirts. But first…" the man reached to the rectangular object on his belt and opened it before pulling out three cards. Opening his buckle next, he slid the three cards into it before closing the buckle again.

Attack Ride: Stag Phone! Bat Shot! Spider Shock!

Around the man, three objects suddenly appeared. One of which was a stag beetle that looked sort of like a flip phone, the second was a bat that looked reminiscent of a camera while the last one was a spider that looked kind of like a watch.

"I'm counting on you three" the man said before driving off. The three machines started traveling towards the city as quickly as they could, the Spider Shock riding on the Stag Phone.


Daigo and Robin both stood with training swords in a training area. Off to the sides, Ryo, Vaike, and Sumia watched. Well, Ryo was trying to; the others were just talking with him and asking questions.

"So you and him have been together since you were kids?" Sumia asked Ryo, pointing to Daigo.

"Yup. Best friends forever and all that junk." Ryo nodded.

"If he's as strong as you say, this'll be one fight I'll love to see" Vaike looked at Daigo and Robin.

"Can you guys keep it down? I want to see this!" Ryo chided them.

"Will this work, Robin?" Daigo asked, gesturing to the area.

"Yes, this will suffice." Robin shouldered his sword. "Now, when does the lesson start?"

THUNK!

"GAH!" Robin stumbled backwards, massaging the area on his head that Daigo had just hit with his sword.

"Wait, you weren't ready?" Daigo blinked, lowering his sword.

"No I wasn't! I just asked if the lesson was starting!" Robin shouted at Daigo.

"It already started. The moment you pick up a sword, you need to be ready to use it at all times." Daigo said, nodding.

"Fine, well I think I'm ready now" Robin lowered his hand from his head.

WHACK!

"OW!" Robin fell backwards again as Daigo hit the exact same area on his head.

"You said you were ready." Daigo told him.

"Are you just throwing me into this and expecting me to fight!" Robin demanded.

"I warned you that I wasn't going soft on you. You should have expected that."

"Okay, that does it, this time I'll-"

SMASH!"

"YOU SON OF A-!" Robin screamed as he held his head in pain again.

"That's the third time I've done that. You'd think you would have learned to block your head by now." Daigo remarked, sighing.

"YOU KNOW YOU'RE REALLY MAKING ME ANGRY!" Robin held his blade back and charged.

"Oh, he's serious now" Ryo smirked as he watched with crossed arms.

"This is kinda funny" Vaike laughed.

A fair distance behind them, a woman in magicians robes and glasses passed by, but spared a glance to the fight, stopping in place when she took notice of Robin's attack.

Robin ran at Daigo and swung his blade at his head. Daigo easily bent back to avoid the blade and kicked Robin in the skin. The white-haired man jumped back and grabbed at his shin in pain.

"You wanted to know how to fight, right? Well you're going to learn. Not just today, but you'll pick something up during our sessions. Both swordfighting and otherwise." Daigo said.

Robin lowered his leg back to the ground and ran at Daigo again. He swung for his opponents legs, Daigo easily jumping over the attack and trying to smack Robin in the side of the head with his sword. Robin easily ducked under the attack and slammed his training weapon into Daigo's gut to knock him back. After that he jumped into the air and kick at Daigo. Daigo ducked under the attack but when Robin landed he spun around and kicked Daigo in the chin.

Daigo grabbed at his chin in pain when Robin tried to slash again. Daigo blocked the attack and punched at Robin, striking him in the chest. Robin fell backwards but sidestepped a slash to the right and used his sword to hold down Daigo's. His right leg extended outwards and hit Daigo in the gut.

Daigo growled and swung for Robin's gut. When he dodged, he brought his weapon back and stabbed forward. The attack his Robin in the center of his stomach before Daigo slammed his palm into Robin's nose and sent him stumbling backwards.

When he got his bearings back, he immediately ducked to avoid a slash. Seeing a chance, Robin swung upwards quickly, aiming to hit Daigo in the face with the blunt face of his weapon. The weapon crashed into Daigo's nose.

"AH CRAP!" Daigo startled cradling his nose in pain. "WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?"

"What, you weren't going easy, so why should I have?" Robin smirked, apparently still a bit mad and frustrated.

From the sidelines, Ryo, Sumia, and Vaike all watched the fight. Ryo looked rather impressed. "I'm surprised. I didn't think he had it in him"

The woman in magicians robes walked up behind them, observing Robin and Daigo's fight.

"That man seems to have issues with his temper" she spoke up, pointing at Robin.

Ryo jumped in surprise at the sudden intrusion. "Oh, hey Miriel" Sumia greeted nonchalantly.

"Who are those two?" Miriel asked.

"Oh, that's Daigo and Robin. They're new recruits. And so is Ryo here" Sumia said, pointing to each of them in turn as she said their names.

"I see. What do you know about Robin?" Miriel inquired.

"Well… not much. He is an amnesiac though" Ryo pointed out.

"I see. Aside from him fighting with a sword, is he skilled with magic" Miriel turned to Ryo.

"I think I saw him using magic once" Ryo nodded.

"Once?" Sumia turned to Ryo.

"Well, back before he transformed into Turbo, I think I saw him using magic. And based off what I can remember from Lissa explaining the concept of magic to me, I think he used a thunder spell."

"Rather basic but still quite understandable." Miriel pushed her glasses further up onto her face. "…wait, what do you mean he transformed?"

Ryo blinked, not expecting her to inquire about that. "I suppose I should have been ready for that. In the short version, Robin basically changed into a Kamen Rider."

"Kamen… Rider?" Sumia tilted her head in confusion. "What's that?"

Back with Daigo and Robin, Daigo "Robin, I have a question, how many times have you fought outside your Turbo armor?"

"How many times? I think I've only fought outside of my armor one time that I can remember. But not for long at least. Why do you ask?"

"I don't think it's your fighting style that's the problem. You're just not used to the Turbo suit."

"…suddenly I feel as dumb as Ryo." Robin remarked.

"I HEARD THAT!" Ryo called from the sidelines.

"You were intended to" Robin shouted back. "But that being said, having thinking more on the matter, it makes sense and is at the same time confusing."

"How is it confusing?" Ryo and the others watching walked over at this point.

"Just think about it. You guys are able to use your Rider forms efficiently no matter which Core Gem you're using but whenever I transform I have a hard time fighting. How does that work?" Robin put his hand to his chin in thought. "Are your Core Gems actually themselves anymore?"

"What do you mean?" SamuraiMaru spoke up.

Those who had not heard the belt talking were taken aback.

"Wait, did that belt just talk?" Vaike asked.

"How interesting. A belt buckle that is capable of conscious thought." Miriel commented.

Sumia just stared.

"When you first got your Core Gems, they were actually gems, right? Then why are they not gems anymore?"

Ryo and Daigo paused, not exactly sure how to answer that. "Well…" Daigo finally answered after a few seconds. "…SamuraiMaru was the one who changed the Core Gems to their current forms."

In unison, Robin, Ryo, and Daigo looked down at the belt.

"SamuraiMaru…" Daigo started.

"Yes?"

"What exactly did you do to our Core Gems?" Ryo finished.

"I personalized them to the two of you. They should not have been altered beyond physical appearance so the powers you are given with them should have been the same."

"But if their Core items don't have an impact on their overall power then why is it that I have trouble fighting with mine?" Robin pointed out.

"That I do not know"

"Great. So I'm stuck with these." Robin sighed.

"Not so fast" Miriel spoke up. "Perhaps it would be best if we observed how much your fighting style is affected overall by each suit. And if I may ask, what are exactly are "Core Gems" and "Kamen Riders"?"

Robin stared at her and blinked in confusion. "I don't mean to be rude but who are you exactly?"


Lissa and Maribelle were sitting at a restaurant in the city, the two drinking tea.

"…anyways, to make a long story short, Ryo, Robin, and Daigo were recruited after they proved themselves on the battlefield." Lissa finished her story.

"So he's not really a pirate?" Maribelle asked.

"He keeps saying that but not a lot of people believe him. I don't see why though. Sure he seems a bit off and weird at times and dresses like a pirate, but he's not actually a bad guy once you get to know him" Lissa shrugged before she took a sip of her tea.

"Well, he does sound nice, but he seems like a brute to me" Maribelle was quick to admit.

"Oh you get used to that." Lissa replied.

"I'm sorry?" Maribelle said in surprise, not expecting that response.

"Okay to be honest he's perfectly normal outside of battle but he's rather calm and collected when killing from what I've seen. In fact Daigo is the exact opposite; he seems to be against killing anyone if necessary." Lissa grabbed hold of the teapot and poured herself some more tea before adding a few sugar cubes and starting to mix it around with a teaspoon.

"Really? What's Daigo like then?" Maribelle poured herself some more tea as well.

"Daigo is certainly pacifistic but he is strong and will fight if he needs to. But he seems to be really against killing though from what I've seen. And he and Ryo seem more like brothers than best friends."

"Daigo seems rather polite and nice I must admit. When I first saw him he seemed to appear oafish like Vaike"

"That's not possible, Daigo is actually intelligent." Lissa laughed.

"So what's Robin li-" before Maribelle could finish, a third female voice intruded. At this point, a young woman walked up to them along with a boy with a pot on his head.

"Excuse me, did you just say the names Daigo and Ryo?" the female voice asked.

"Uh yeah. Sorry but who are you?" Lissa turned to the intruder. Maribelle looked at the two intruders with disdain.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Asuka. I'm looking for my older brother Daigo Mirai. Of course he's always seen with his best friend Ryo Tamashii." Asuka admitted.

"Wait, you're Daigo's younger sister? He told us about you!" Lissa exclaimed.

Asuka looked a bit uncomfortable but nodded. "I see. How do you know him?"

"Daigo and Ryo are both friends of mine. I can take you to them if you want" Lissa said.

"Lissa, we're kind of in the middle of something here" Maribelle reminded her.

Lissa paled. "Oh, right, sorry Maribelle."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Asuka bowed in apology, something Lissa and Maribelle looked at her oddly for. "I got ahead of myself there. You two should finish your conversation, I'll just be on my way."

"Hey, don't worry about it, it's fine. We'll finish up in here and then we'll take you to your brother, does that sound fine?" Lissa asked.

"That sounds perfect, thank you" Asuka smiled.

"In the meantime, I reckon we should just…wait outside" the boy, Donnel, spoke up for the first time.

"Oh, right" Asuka said. "I apologize again" Asuka bowed for the second time before she turned and walked out with Donnel, her smile noticeably turning into a scowl when she did.

"…she seems nice" Lissa commented.

"And rather rude as well" Maribelle added.


Turbo (Base Form) and Kaizoku (Sea Pirate) both slashed at each other, the blades they had clashing together and resulting in the two slightly bouncing back a bit.

On the sidelines, Daigo, Sully, Vaike, Virion, and Sumia watched the fight, Sully and Virion having joined to watch.

"How long have those two been at it?" Sully asked Daigo.

"Not too long actually. That one wizard lady had them start fighting to see which of his suits affected him the most." Daigo replied.

"He's apparently not doing so well now" she remarked.

As she said that, Turbo fell onto his behind and quickly rolled out of the way of a slash from Kaizoku.

"That armor isn't really doing much for him" Virion commented.

Turbo got to his feet and blocked a slash from Kaizoku before the pirate shot him in the head.

"Dude, you held your own against Daigo earlier, how are you this bad now?" Kaizoku put his hands on his hips and sighed.

"There's fighting normally than there's fighting in this thing where I can hardly see!"

"You can't see in that?" Kaizoku tilted his head.

"My helmets shaped like a dragon! The eyes are at my forehead and the mouth has a screen that's dark to match my suit! The rest of the helmet covers everything! I don't even know how to work this suit or belt to it's fullest potential! WHY ARE YOU WONDERING WHY I'M BAD AT THIS?!"

"You've got a point" Kaizoku nodded. "Try changing your suit up"

Turbo sighed and tried to calm himself. He pulled out his Thunder Turbo Orb and activated it in his belt.

Turbo Orb! Henshin! Thunder Sequence!

Thunder! Weapon!

Turbo brandished his Turbo Edge and ran at Kaizoku. The two clashed their weapons together repeatedly, Kaizoku easily getting the upper hand. Kaizoku blasted Turbo in the chest and then slashed across his helmet. Turbo fell to the ground but grabbed onto the glowing light on his weapon.

"What was the point of that form change? It didn't help a-GH!" Kaizoku stopped his taunt when Turbo fired an electric arrow at him, electricity covering him and shocking him to the point where he fell onto his back and started twitching on the ground.

"Water and electricity aren't a good mix. You should have realized what I was planning when I pulled out this form." Turbo said.

"Impressive. Using brains over brawn to take down Ryo." Daigo nodded from the sidelines. "Of course that usually always works when it comes to fighting Ryo."

"…is he alright?" Sumia pointed at Kaizoku, who was still twitching on the ground.

Turbo walked over to his opponent. "Hey, are you alright? Look I'm really sorry if I seriously hurt you… I-I think he needs a medic or something" as he kept speaking, it seemed like he was becoming more panicked. When he looked back down, he was looking down the barrel of the Kaizoku Shot.

BANG!

Turbo fell backwards from the attack as Kaizoku jumped up.

"Those acting lessons REALLY come in handy!"

Turbo sat up. "Wha-?! I was worried about you! I thought I seriously hurt you!"

"Yeah it'll take a lot more than that to take me down. Good effort though" Kaizoku praised Turbo before he shot at him with his gun. Turbo rolled to the side and fire another electric arrow at Kaizoku. The pirate ducked but the arrow grazed the side of his helmet and caused enough of a jolt that he fell to the ground.

Turbo got up and readied his weapon again.

Kaizoku got on one knee. "Guess the same trick won't work again huh? Oh well." He stood up and reached into his belt, pulling out the Sky Pirate Bullet. "Time to change it up a bit." Opening his Kaizoku Shot, he slid the bullet in and pulled the hammer back. Turbo prepared another arrow when Kaizoku aimed his gun at him. The two unleashed their attacks at the same time, both of them ducking under it.

Sky Pirate Sequence!

In his red air-based form, Kaizoku jumped into the air and flew around Turbo while shooting at him.

Turbo quickly dived out of the way and pressed the button on his belt twice.

Thunder! Dash!

Turbo suddenly appeared somewhere besides where Kaizoku was aiming, a trail of visible electricity appearing behind him while a loud sound reminiscent of thunder rang out. Of course he ended up falling onto the ground face first again.

Kaizoku located his new location and fired at him, Turbo rolling out of the way as it happened.

"Okay… once was weapon, twice is dash, what happens at three?" he questioned as he avoided the attacks. Hurriedly, he tapped the button on his belt three times.

Thunder! Burst!

Turbo spun around as energy surged over his hands and especially into his weapon. "I don't really know what's happening, but I'll go with it!" Turbo thrust his left hand forward, a bolt of lightning surging out to strike Kaizoku. Kaizoku turned in midair, trying to dodge but still missing. Passing his Turbo Edge to his left hand, he formed another arrow, this one becoming amplified by the energy in his hand. He unleashed the arrow at Kaizoku, striking him directly in the chest and knocking him to the ground.

"Alright!" Turbo fist pumped into the air. "What else can this thing do?" he pressed down on the button four times.

Thunder! Explosion!

"Sounds dangerous but I can handle it." Turbo aimed his weapon at Kaizoku and prepared an arrow while electricity started to surge from his belt to his weapon. Kaizoku got up and saw the attack before getting ready.

Back on the sidelines, Miriel returned but with two Tomes in her hands, one green and the other red. "What did I miss?" she asked.

"They turned into different colors and I think that Robin guy's getting the upper hand here." Sully summarized.

"Hmph" Turbo prepared to release the attack. "This sett-" the arrow exploded in his hands, knocking him onto his back.

Kaizoku stared while blinking under his helmet. He looked at the others who were watching. "Was…was that supposed to happen?"

Turbo sat up, looking around in a dazed stated. "Did I win?" he attempted to stand up but started to fall flat on his face. Daigo noticed this and ran to him but Turbo face planted into the ground before Daigo could catch him.

"No. You didn't" Daigo helped Turbo up. Turbo grabbed at his belt and clumsily pulled out his Thunder Turbo Orb.

Sequence End

Turbo turned back into Robin, who just looked around, still a bit dazed.

"I think he needs a medic" Kaizoku remarked.

"That was rather disappointing." Miriel commented.

"Still, that was really funny!" Vaike laughed.

Daigo shook his head. "Does anyone know where Lissa or any healers are?"

"You guys talking about me?" Lissa's voice rang out as she, Maribelle, Asuka, and Donnel walked up to them.

"Yeah, Robin needs a bit of help w-" Daigo stopped when he noticed the new girl they had brought, his eyes widening in shock and horror.

"This girl says she knows you and Ryo. She also says she's your sister a-"

"What are you doing here?!" Daigo interrupted Lissa with a horrified question.

"Long time no see, big brother." Asuka sneered.

Kaizoku looked just as shocked as Daigo did.

Sequence End

"Why are you here?" Ryo got out as his armor dissolved.

"Nice to see you too Ryo" Asuka growled.

While this was happening, the observers were watching confused. Robin tried to get off Daigo and managed to do so but was still a bit dazed. "What's going on here?"

"…Daigo?" SamuraiMaru spoke up for the first time, confused at the situation.

"You haven't told them yet?" Asuka started laughing madly. "That's funny. I would have thought it would be the first thing on your mind. It was the last time I saw you."

Ryo looked between them while about to step in. "Asuka, you need to stop"

"And you need to butt out" Asuka snapped at him.

"Uh…Asuka…" Donnel noticed the looks they were getting. "I think we should go now"

"Shut up Donnel" Asuka replied.

"Hey, that's enough, I don't know what you're doing here but you need to-WAGH!" Lissa stepped in to try and stop her but Asuka flipped her over her head and onto her back on the ground.

"Darling!" Maribelle was quick to move to Lissa's side when Asuka walked towards Daigo.

"Asuka, what are you doing?!" Donnel asked her. She ignored him.

"Leave. Them. Out of this" Daigo growled at Asuka.

The others stood prepared to fight Asuka. "Don't, my beef is with him. I only attacked her because she got involved."

"I believe your best course of action would be to leave" Miriel advised Asuka.

"Do not make this anymore difficult for yourself. Please just leave before we call the guards." SamuraiMaru added.

"Why are you treating me like a villain when you already have a murderer in your midst" Asuka gestured at her brother.

"Murderer?" Robin looked at Daigo in surprise.

"Daigo, what is she talking about?"

"Shut up…" Daigo said loud enough for her to hear.

"Tell them, Daigo." Asuka growled.

"Shut! up!" Daigo looked down, his breathing becoming faster and his teeth clenching in anger.

"Tell us what?" Robin turned to Daigo.

"Robin" Ryo cautioned, shaking his head and warning him not to continue the subject.

"Tell them how you killed her! How you killed my best friend! How you killed the woman you loved!" Asuka shouted at him.

"SHUT UP!" Daigo's hands grasped at his head, covering his ears. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" he screamed at his sister.

"Daigo!" Robin's eyes widened in surprise.

Daigo formed his Shogun Saber and ran at Asuka while screaming.

Asuka ducked under a slash before she quickly drew her own katana out of her sheath and blocked Daigo's blade as he attempted to slash again.

"You were always the one to strike first" Asuka remarked as the two backed up.

The girl jumped at Daigo and stabbed forwards only for Daigo to use his sword to push hers down. He swung and aimed for her head, but she ducked under the blade and lashed out with her foot for his gut. Daigo moved to the side and dodged her attack before he kicked her in the gut.

Daigo prepared his weapon again. "RAGH!" he charged.

"Daigo, calm down!" SamuraiMaru shouted at Daigo.

"What do we do?" Robin asked the others.

"We hafta help him" Sully said. "What other option is there?"

"I wanna help as much as the next guy, but they don't seem to want any interference" Donnel said.

"Who are you again?" Sumia asked Donnel, who sighed.

"I don't think that's a good idea. Asuka got training from the same people who trained Daigo. They've been equals for years. What makes you think you can handle a female Daigo?" Ryo asked, moving in front of them to block them.

"Screw that, I'm getting in there!" Sully was quick to shove Ryo aside and go to help Daigo.

"This is between family, don't interfere!" Ryo called after her.

Asuka sheathed her blade and pulled out a small black gem. Daigo saw the gem and his eyes widened.

"You're kidding me" Asuka gripped the gem tightly and held her arm out towards Sully. A bolt of energy fired from her hand and impacted Sully in the chest, knocking her to the ground.

"Sully!" Vaike said.

"Milady!" Virion gasped.

"Hey!" Robin moved to Sully's side. "I'm fine! Don't get your undies in a twist." Sully groaned as Robin helped her up. "Wait…that sword looks familiar…" Robin realized.

"Daigo…it seems I can't match you regularly...so I'll just have to up the stakes a bit." Asuka reached to her katana and unscrewed the bottom of the handle. A small slot popped out of where she unscrewed it. She slid the Core Gem into it before closing it and screwing it back in.

"Don't tell me you're-" Daigo started but didn't get a chance to finish.

"Henshin…" Asuka hissed and began slowly unsheathing her katana. As she pulled it out, the blade was glowing brightly and shining. As she pulled it out, dark energy started surrounding her and forming a cloud that slowly obscured her from view with each inch of the katana. Finally, she pulled it out entirely and set her arm down to her side.

Ronin Sequence…

The cloud completely obscured Asuka from view of whoever was watching. A bright light could be seen coming from the inside of the cloud before the cloud dissipated, revealing that Asuka had changed into a figure quite familiar to Robin.

"Ronin…" he said.

"Asuka…" Daigo looked her suit up and down.

"She was a Kamen Rider too?"

"I am Kamen Rider Ronin…" Ronin aimed her weapon at him. Her sword was entirely black, from a black handle to a black blade. This was the Ronin Katana.

Daigo's jaw clenched in anger and he pulled his Shogun Fire Core out. He attached his Shogun Phone to his Shogun Saber and slid the Core into it.

"Shogun Henshin, Sanjou!"

Shogun Fire Sequence!

Shogun brandished his sword before charging.

"Rider…vs…Rider?" Robin said aloud.

"Hey, why don't you get in there? You're a Rider or whatever, right?" Sully asked him.

Robin nodded and stepped forward while reaching into his pocket to pull out the Base Turbo Orb. He slid it into his belt and pulled the handle.

Turbo Orb!

"Turbo Henshin!"

Henshin! Turbo Sequence!

Turbo! Weapon!

Turbo brandished his weapon as Ryo stepped up and got ready. "Let me help. Kaizoku Henshin, Sanjou!"

Sea Pirate Sequence!

Kaizoku tossed his Kaizoku Shot to his left hand and drew his Cutlass with his right.

"Let's tip the scales!" Turbo and Kaizoku charged and entered the fight.

Ronin slashed at Shogun, who blocked her attack when Kaizoku appeared next to her and rested his arm on her shoulder. "Hey Asuka, how've you been lately?" he asked before aiming his gun at her head and firing, knocking her back.

Ronin fell onto her side when Turbo jumped forward and slashed at her while she was down. Ronin rolled to the side and got to her knees while slashing upwards. The attack struck Turbo and he fell backwards. Kaizoku aimed his Kaizoku Shot at Ronin but Shogun shoved him aside.

"Don't interfere!" Shogun prepared to jump at Ronin when Kaizoku grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back.

"Daigo! Calm down!" SamuraiMaru shouted at his partner.

"I was fine with helping because this escalated and I'm not sure you can handle another Rider out of nowhere. Even if she is your sister that doesn't mean she may not be stronger with her Core Gem!" Kaizoku tried to argue.

"That doesn't matter to me!" Shogun pulled his arm from Kaizoku's grip.

"Focus you two!" SamuraiMaru ordered but was quickly ignored.

Turbo looked between the two and then Ronin, who spun her Ronin Katana so it was in a reverse grip. She slammed her palm onto the bottom of the handle and prepared herself as the two were arguing.

Ending! Ronin! Final Sequence!

"Mirai Ken…" she got into a ready stance as energy surged around her. At this point, Kaizoku and Shogun noticed this and stopped arguing.

"Oh crap!" Kaizoku started fumbling to activate his own finisher.

Shogun stared and held his blade out.

"Yami no Surasshu! (Darkness Slash!)" Ronin ran towards the two.

Turbo looked at her and then his partners before looking down at his Turbo Sword, noticing a small slot on the hilt big enough for a Turbo Orb. Hurriedly, began running and pulling the Turbo Orb out of his belt.

Just before Ronin reached Shogun and Kaizoku she started to stab towards her brother. However, Turbo shoved Shogun out of the way, which caused a domino effect in which Kaizoku was shoved aside by the falling Shogun.

Turbo placed the Orb into the slot but didn't push it in fully. He received Ronin's attack in his chest, but grabbed onto the blade and let the energy surge over him.

"Robin!" Kaizoku sat up as he noticed his friend squirming in pain.

"What do you think you're trying to do?!" SamuraiMaru shouted at Turbo.

"Let go!" Ronin pulled in vain to try and retrieve her weapon.

The energy covering Turbo started to enter his sword as well.

"Turbo…" He used his thumb to press the Orb fully into the slot.

Slashing! Turbo! Final Sequence!

"Finish!" Turbo slashed upwards with his Turbo Sword, energy from Ronin's attack mixing with his own. The attack struck Ronin square in the chest. An explosion of energy launched the two backwards. Ronin landed on the ground, injured, but still in her suit.

As Turbo flew through the air, his suit dissolved and left him as Robin, who fell onto the ground while unconscious and covered in cuts. His shirt was pierced where the Ronin Katana had struck him and he was bleeding. His Turbo Sword and Base Turbo Orb fell to the ground next to him.

"Robin!" Kaizoku and Lissa almost immediately ran to his side, trying to make sure he was alright. The others also approached, but noticed that Ronin was getting up and about to come at them.

"Oi, come on man are you okay?!" Kaizoku demanded.

"Where's my staff at?!" Lissa reached to grab her staff to try and heal him.

Ronin grabbed her sword, quite obviously tired and injured, but held it out in front of her. She staggered forwards to try and get them. "Come on, you want to go?" Sully stepped in front of them, cracking her knuckles. "I may not know what's happening, but that's about enough of you!"

Shogun stepped beside her and got his sword ready.

Ronin panted but prepared to charge again.

Fruit Duo!

A zipper could be heard opening before a round(ish) object that was colored white and silver appeared from the side and crashed into her to knock her over.

From the side, the young woman with the aqua streak in her hair walked towards them. She held up the lock that was previously on her belt and glared at them.

"Who are you supposed to be?" Vaike asked.

Shogun and Kaizoku on the other hand recognized her belt.

"Is that…" Kaizoku started.

"A Sengoku Driver?!" Shogun finished.

"Sengoku Driver?" Lissa repeated.

"Daigo, what do you mean by that?"

"What is that?" Sumia asked, still unsure of what to do.

"Henshin" the young woman placed the lock onto her belt and locked it in.

Lock On!

A dubstep song that sounded a bit like a mix between a dragons roar and a techno beat started up before she hit the blade on the belt and cut open the fruit.

Count Zero!

The object that crashed into Ronin flew above the young woman and landed on her shoulders, forming a suit before the object folded down onto her shoulders and chest to form armor.

Fruit Duo Arms: Orange! Dragonfruit! Mix Up!

Her new suit was white with several black highlights all over it. She was wearing white and silver armor on her shoulders, chest, and back that appeared to be designed after a mix between an orange and a dragon fruit. Her helmet was based off a dragon, but it appeared to look rather tame and not so wild.

Her Driver had a panel on the side with her helmet and a grey background. The lock that was cut open had two panels. The top panel had a design that was based off of the inside of an orange on the left and the inside of a dragon fruit on the right.

"Kamen Rider…Wyvern" the newly named Wyvern continued walking towards them, orange energy gathering in her right hand to form a sword based off an orange slice.

"This took a rather sudden turn" Miriel commented.

"I don't know who you are-"

"You three Riders and your unconscious friend…give me your power!" Wyvern dashed towards Shogun and swung her sword for his head.

Shogun ducked under the blade but punched her in the gut and slashed at her with his Saber. Wyvern managed to dodge out of the way and formed a katana with a gun in her left hand. She pulled a yellow handle back as she dodged Shogun's slashes and then blasted him in the chest four times with the gun on the sword.

"What kind of Rider is this?!" SamuraiMaru demanded.

"I don't really know how to explain right now" Shogun ducked under a slash before she blasted him in the chest four more times.

"Why does she have the Musou Saber and DaiDaiMaru?" Kaizoku stood up as he continued staring at the fight. "…guess I shouldn't worry about that now. I should worry about fighting!" he held his weapons up and ran in to help his friend.

Off to the side, Ronin looked around confused at how the situation had changed before she looked over at Donnel, who was staring at her. Getting up, Ronin sheathed her sword before she turned and quickly ran off as fast as she could.

Wyvern stabbed forwards with both weapons and caught Shogun in the chest. When Kaizoku entered and tried to kick her in the head, she ducked and slashed upwards. Kaizoku fell to the ground but aimed his gun at her head and fired, startling her long enough for Shogun to swing his sword at her and strike her across her body.

Kaizoku jumped off the ground and stood besides his friend. "Who are you? What do you want with us?" he demanded.

"I am Aqua. Kamen Rider Wyvern. I am here to collect Rider Lockseeds for my allies at Badan."

"Badan?!" Shogun was caught off guard by that piece of info. Wyvern took this moment to activate the blade on her belt again.

Count Zero! Orange Squash!

Holding up the DaiDaiMaru, she slashed towards them.

"Daigo!" Kaizoku shoved Shogun out of the way, receiving the attack for him. He stumbled backwards as orange energy covered him before there was an explosion.

"RYO!" Shogun shouted. The explosion dissipated but Daigo could swear he saw energy collecting and forming a small lock before vanishing. "That was… a Lockseed…but that means-" he was kicked aside by Wyvern.

Wyvern aimed her weapon at him. "You're next." She prepared to attack when all of a sudden; a bat like object flew by her and crashed into her head. What appeared to be a stag beetle also flew by her and distracted her when what appeared to be a spider jumped at her and wrapped webbing around her head. "What the-?!" A figure jumped in and kicked her away.

"Tch. I was too late to save one of them." The man from before with the camera around his neck sighed as he reached to his belt and pulled at the handles.

Shogun got up and got a good look at the man. "You're-!"

The man reached to the side of his belt and pulled a card out of the object on the side. "My name is Tsukasa Kadoya. I am Kamen Rider Decade." He held the card in front of him. "Henshin!" Tsukasa slid the card into his belt before closing it.

Kamen Ride: Decade!

Several projections appeared around him while several cards flew out of his belt. The projections combined onto him while the cards flew into his helmet, completing the look and turning parts of his suit magenta.

"Kamen Rider Decade?! You couldn't have gotten here earlier to help?!" Shogun demanded.

"With the amount of commotion you guys were making it was no surprise she got to you first. I can tell you're still rookies but I'll be easy on you guys…this time"

Decade pulled the card holder off the side of his belt and unfolded a handle, a blade forming out of it.

"Come on, let's take her down" Decade told Shogun.

Shogun nodded and got ready, but quickly noticed the observers. "Um… I'm sorry guys, I know this must be very confusing for you but… I promise I'll explain later, just get to safety!"

"Screw that." Vaike walked over. "We're helping you now whether you like it or not."

Miriel stepped up. "Though you Riders seem to be strong, we should be able to help either way."

Sully almost came over, but almost collapsed from her injuries.

"Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not going to happen. You may be able to help with regular things and possibly the Riders of this world, but this Rider is way out of your league. Just run and we'll take care of it"

"Now listen here you can't order us around, especially if we don't know you!" Vaike told Decade.

"It's fine, you can trust Tsukasa." Shogun confirmed.

Decade turned to Shogun. "You seem like you know me from somewhere."

Shogun just turned to his allies. "Guys, please. We can handle this. Just get Robin, Lissa, and Maribelle to safety. Alert Chrom of what's happened."

"But-"

"Sully, I believe they are right. We must retreat for now" Miriel eyed Wyvern, who was simply standing there, patiently waiting.

"Tch, fine. But you better win" Sully told Shogun, who simply nodded.

Miriel and Sully both went to the others. "Let's get out of here" Sully said and the group quickly left, Sully and Lissa helping to carry Robin.

Shogun and Decade both turned back to Wyvern, who was waiting for them.

"…you guys done? I get bored waiting for the Riders to say their last goodbyes" Wyvern got ready.

Decade pulled a card out of his holder. The card was blank but briefly shined and an image appeared on it. Decade opened his belt and slid the card into it. "I've wasted enough time already; we need to hurry it up"

Final Form Ride:

"Eh?!" Shogun turned to Decade, who closed his belt.

Sh-Sh-Sh-Shogun!

Decade patted his hands together. "This might tickle a bit" he warned, moving to Shogun, who moved out of the way in surprise.

"No way! I have a Final Form Ride?!" he started saying.

"What is a Final Form Ride?"

"Oi! Now is not the time for that!" Decade slapped him on the shoulder, turning his back towards him. Decade placed his hand on Shogun's back, causing the samurai Rider to stiffen up. Decade flicked his wrist upwards, silver coloring spreading through the suit and armor of Shogun until soon enough, his entire person was colored silver minus his belt and eyes. The belt remained the same but his eyes gained a thick golden ring on the outside.

Shogun cocked his head to the side before looking down at his hands.

Suddenly, he spoke up, but the gold parts his eyes flashed as he did and so did his belt. However, it was not Daigo's voice that came from the figure.

"Am I in control?" SamuraiMaru's voice asked. "I was given a new form? Interesting. I guess this is… SamuraiMaru Sequence."

"E-eh?! Did the Final Form Ride give SamuraiMaru control?! How does that work?!" Daigo's voice shouted, the orange part of his eyes lighting up along with the center of his belt.

"No time to complain, let's go!" Decade patted Shogun on the back.

Shogun nodded and held the Shogun Saber up.

"Very well. I will help take care of this problem."

"I really don't have a choice here do I?" Daigo sighed.

"As Robin would say: Nope"

"Fine, let's go!"

The two ran at Wyvern, who was still waiting patiently. When she noticed they were charging, she got ready as well.

Decade stabbed forward while Shogun slashed downwards. Wyvern blocked both attacks with her weapons when Shogun kicked outwards and hit her in the chest to knock her off balance. When she stumbled backwards, Decade slashed across her chest and then stomach with two swings of his sword.

Shogun looked down at his belt.

"I didn't do that attack."

"I guess I have a little control of my body. Tell you what, we'll cover each other. If you see a chance, take it. If I see a chance, I'll take it."

"Very well. Let's go for it!"

Shogun got into a ready stance and joined Decade in attacking Wyvern.

Wyvern stabbed forward at Decade, who slid to the side but got scratched a little. Despite this, Decade swung his sword at Wyvern and tried to catch her across her chest. The sword came close but Wyvern raised her own weapon and blocked it. Shogun as well tried to swing his sword but Wyvern blocked with her other weapon. Flames coated the Shogun Saber briefly, coating it in a bright light for a second and stunning Wyvern.

Decade broke through her defense and kicked Wyvern in the gut. "HA!" Decade swung downwards and struck Wyvern across her helmet before he jumped forward and landed a punch on her chest.

Water started flowing up and down the Shogun Saber, to which Shogun thrust it forward, water splashing onto Wyvern's face and stunning her again before Shogun performed two consecutive slashes onto her legs to knock her over.

Wyvern fell onto her back and dropped her weapons but rolled out of the way of Decade's kick and slash from his weapon. She got onto her knees and summoned a lance in both hands before getting back up.

Wind started to swirl around the Shogun Saber as Shogun held it up.

Decade turned his weapon to gun mode and started firing when Shogun experimentally started swinging his own sword, wind flying from it and surrounding Wyvern. Wyvern started swinging to try and deflect the bullets, only for the wind to catch her off balance and for the bullets to strike her in the chest.

"Good thinking there" Decade told Shogun as he reached for a card.

"It was an accident."

"I don't think he needed to know that SamuraiMaru"

Final Attack Ride: Sh-Sh-Sh-Shogun!

"Let's get going" Decade got ready by turning his gun back to sword mode and holding it back

Shogun pressed the button on the Shogun Phone before spinning the disc. Instead of SamuraiMaru announcing it, however, it was Daigo's voice.

Conducting! SamuraiMaru! Final Sequence!

"Wait what? Why did I just say that?" Daigo's voice asked.

Fire, water, wind, and a bit of dirt and dust started to swirl around the Shogun Saber while Decade's sword glowed a bright magenta.

Count Zero! Dragonfruit Au Lait!

Wyvern swung her weapon around her before thrusting it at them.

Decade and Shogun blocked the attacks with their weapons before running forward.

"Dual Element Slash!" Daigo's voice called out as they both slashed downwards, the attacks cutting through Wyvern's and striking her.

Wyvern fell backwards but regained her balance while growling. "Fine, I'll admit defeat. But if we ever meet again, I won't hesitate to end you"

A portal opened behind her and she walked into it before it closed.

Shogun and Decade sheathed their weapons. Shogun turned to Decade.

"Would you mind explaining what's happening?"


An hour later, Daigo, Tsukasa, Chrom, and Lissa were in a room with Robin in a hospital bed next to them. Robin was conscious but shirtless, covered in bandages, and being treated by Lissa.

"I see." Chrom nodded. "So as "Heisei Riders" that means you guys have to be involved in this fight against the "Showa Riders", right?"

"That's right. I came to this world to look for one last Rider to even out the Riders in the Kamen Rider Taisen. There's really no choice in the matter, I need Daigo to come with me." Tsukasa told Chrom.

"Hang on, are we really sure that Daigo wants to go?" Lissa pointed out.

"The only other option is Asuka or Robin. Ryo was turned into a Lockseed, Asuka tried to kill me, and Robin is too injured to go out there" Daigo quickly reminded her. "I don't really have a choice here."

"Yes you do." Robin started to sit up while grunting in pain. "I'm going out there to help and you can't stop me"

"No, you're too injured. You need to stay and rest." Lissa said.

"I need to get out there and help" Robin tried to get out of bed. "Just use one of your magic sticks or potions and I'll be on my way"

"That's not going to work" Lissa pushed Robin back onto the bed. "The staffs and potions we have can heal the cuts given to you, and at times even bruises. Those types of injuries can heal in almost no time. But since you used that energy to boost your own attack, it was absorbed by your body and performed a lot of damage. Last time when you fought against her it was easier to handle because your body didn't try to contain it. Since this time you did, it damaged you from the inside and it will take a lot more than just a healing staff or potion to heal these wounds; especially given that we don't know what kind of energy it is. You're going to have to sit out of the fighting for a long while Robin"

"I'm going to help" Robin stubbornly told her.

"Don't bother. You're just going to be a dead weight if you come along" Tsukasa told Robin.

"Hey now, who do you think you are?" Robin growled at Tsukasa.

"Torisugari no Kamen Raida da, oboeteoke. (Just a passing through Kamen Rider, Remember that.)" Tsukasa replied calmly.

Daigo put on a large grin and was practically hopping up and down in excitement. "He said it! He said it!" he kept repeating. This got him several odd looks from the others.

Tsukasa turned to him and sighed. "Don't fanboy. You'll make me regret choosing you."

Chrom shook his head. "He has a point though Robin. You're not going to be much help when injured. Just stay here and rest."

"But-"

"Robin, please" Lissa pleaded.

Robin sighed and laid back in the bed. "Fine."

Chrom turned back to Tsukasa and Daigo. "You guys go ahead. Daigo, I expect you and Ryo to come back in one piece. Good luck"

"Thanks. Let's go" Tsukasa directed that last part at Daigo.

Daigo nodded. "Guys I'll be back soon…hopefully."

And with that Daigo and Tsukasa left.

Robin watched them leave with an upset look on his face. "Guess it can't be helped"


Daigo and Tsukasa walked up to Tsukasa's bike.

"Is that your bike?" Daigo started to fanboy again.

"Okay what's your deal with me?" Tsukasa sighed as he got on the bike.

Daigo got on behind him. "It's a bit of a long story."

"We've got time" Tsukasa started driving as a silver wall formed in front of them.

"Well it started around a few days ago…" Daigo started before they drove into the wall and vanished.


Explanation:

Asuka/Ronin: Asuka's outfit was designed to be based a bit off Michonne from the Walking Dead. Her suit and transformation sequence however was based off of both Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and the Lion-Maru series, specifically Lion-Maru G. Her Ronin Katana was simply a sword she had that changed when she bonded to her Core Gem. Any more information about her will be explained in the future.


A man walked down the catwalk, his footsteps echoing throughout the area. He eventually stopped in front of the group.

"Who are you?" Hunter demanded.

"My name is Son Goku."

Coming Soon


"You Heisei Riders do not deserve to be called Kamen Riders!" Goku pointed at Hunter and his friends.


The Ultimate Battle Will Begin

"Rider… Henshin!" Goku shouted.

Kamen Rider Ichigo posed and began to do battle with the Badan soldiers.


Heisei

"The Showa Riders are aiming to completely destroy the Heisei Riders" Kaz told Daigo.

"The only thing we can do now is survive" Belt-san spoke from Kaz's waist.


Vs.

"Even if we can survive, what makes you think it's worth it if we destroy those that had once been called allies to the Heisei Riders?" SamuraiMaru questioned.


Showa

"He's right, trying to kill us or not, they're still Kamen Riders" Daigo said.

"So are we. While you have a valid point, if they fight with the power to kill, we may have to fight back with the same kind of power" Kaz crossed his arms.


Two Eras of Kamen Rider Will Do Battle

Kamen Riders Faiz and Extra-Omega slashed at the Badan grunts, knocking them out of the way. In the background, a young man and woman could be seen protecting a group of kids.


The Future Of Kamen Rider Will Be Changed Forever.

"Are you two… Heisei Riders?" Ren asked the two Riders in the now empty lot.

"Then we'll be your opponents!" Amy shouted at them with a determined look on her face.


"Set Up!"

"A-MA-ZON!"

OMEGA! EVOLU-E-EVOLUTION!


X slashed at Faiz, knocking him to the ground as Amazon Omega grabbed at Extra-Omega, biting down on her arm.


And, as Badan arrives,

Calem and Serena stood together with Geo and Sonia as they held up their Resshas. "ToQ Change!"

Geo and Sonia held up small cube-like items while Luna held her flashlight in front of herself. "Honno Kakusei!"


The two now stood with the Geo and Sonia. "If Badan is taking over not just the world, but the UNIVERSE, we need to act now" Serena said.

"But how are we going to do that?" Sonia asked.


No One Is Safe.

Haruto and Korrina held up their Junction Changers next to N and White. "ToQ Change!"

N and White held up their yellow guns. "Kyoryu Change!"


Haruto was prepared to fight as they glared at N and White.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Korrina asked.

"Don't associate us with what's causing this attack" N crossed his arms.


Who Will Save The Universe?!

ToQ2Gou and 3Gou swung their weapons at Badan soldiers, knocking them over. Nearby, ZyuohEagle could be seen swinging a whip around himself, striking several grunts at once. Near him, ZyuohGorilla slammed her fists into several grunts before tackling one to the ground. In the background, ZyuohTheWorld could be seen striking Badan soldiers with her rod-like weapon while also kicking at them as they got near.


ToQXGou and Ygou stood side by side with KyoryuBlack and KyoryuBlue.

"Now then, let's finish this, shall we?" KyoryuBlack asked his teammates.


"You're… a Heisei Rider… that transforms with locks?" Kaz asked Hunter, looking at Hunter's Sengoku Driver.

"You transform with toy cars?" Hunter eyed the Shift Speed Shift Car on Kaz's shoulder.

"Touché"


Starring: Kamen Riders Gaim and Wizard,

Hunter and Yuya stood side by side while holding up their respective devices, the Orange Lockseed with Hunter and the Flame Ring with Yuya.

"Henshin!"

Orange Arms: Hanamichi, On Stage!

FLAME, PLEASE!


The Wild Amazon Omega,

"Kamen Riders are supposed to be heroes of justice and love." Amy told her ally. "If the Heisei Riders are Kamen Riders themselves, then why do we have to fight them?"


The Driving Drive,

Kaz tightened his tie as he approached the group. "I got it. My brain is in Top Gear"


The Legendary Ichigo,

"Rider… Henshin!" Goku performed Ichigo's Henshin pose, his belt changing him into Kamen Rider Ichigo.


The Blazing Shogun,

"SamuraiMaru… I know how this entire "Kamen Rider War" must confuse you, but please, I really need your help to do this" Daigo pleaded with his belt.


The Non-Existent Sangou,

"Tch, to think that I'd honestly be helping with something like this" Yuji sighed to himself.


The New Extra-Omega,

"I don't care what you say, even if I'm weak, I'm not going to stop fighting to protect everyone!" May declared to those before her.


And The Newest Showa: V0,

"If I have to destroy the Heisei Riders I've befriended in order to protect innocent lives… I-I can't honestly say I'd know what to do." Nagi said, completely unsure as he stared at the ground.


"Whatever happens, we have to work together and fight to survive!" Kaz shouted at Daigo.


Including: The Mysterious Fifteen,

Gou Striker walked towards the Riders with his Driver equipped. "I will save him… my younger brother. I'll kill you all in order to do it" he held up the Fifteen Lockseed.


The Dark Wyvern,

"Henshin" Aqua growled, holding up her Fruit Duo Lockseed.


The Technological Faiz,

Raito blinked as the forces of Badan crowded around him. "That's all you guys are sending in? I don't even need my Rider form to take you all down"


The Imaginative ToQGers,

Calem and Serena ran with Geo and Sonia towards the fighting, Calem and Serena having their ToQ Changers equipped on their wrists. The two held up their Ressha's. "ToQ Change!"


And The Awakened Soul of Agito!

"Henshin!" Dan shouted with his right arm extended before he slammed his palms onto the side of his belt.


"Are you sure this universe is worth protecting? We're in the middle of a war and you're concerned over the safety of people you don't even know" Raito asked May. "Maybe it's time for it to fall after all. Change things up a bit."

May glared at him. "I don't care if there's a war going on or if we all die because of it. I will definitely make sure the universe is safe!"


A Heroic Battle Between Two Generations.

"If you Showa Riders think you can just destroy us and get away with it…" Hunter pulled out his Orange Lockseed. "Then I'll destroy you first!"

"Henshin!"


The seven Heisei Riders engaged in battle with the Showa Riders, Gaim and Ichigo at the front of their respective sides.


Who Will Win?

Gaim and Ichigo jumped at each other in their own Rider Kicks, intent on finishing the battle.


Heisei Rider X Showa Rider:

The two sides posed before charging.

Kamen Rider Taisen!


Featuring:

"ToQ Change!"

"Kyoryu Change! Fire!"

"Let's Morphin!"

"Honno Kakusei!"


Super Sentai!

"Ressha Sentai: ToQGer!"

"Ressha Senshi: XY Traingers!"

"Doubutsu Sentai: Zyuohger!"

"Zyuden Sentai: Kyoryuger!"

"Tokumei Sentai: Go-Busters!"
